Abstract Details

2014, Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Ohio University, Business Administration.
This article aims to answer the research question “Do labor union proposals promote socially responsible investing and thus improve pricing and investment models?” Through the use of a financial event study I found a positive correlation between Social SRI proposals and returns on securities of the corresponding companies. From a sample of 573 SRI proposals submitted by labor unions between 2003 and 2010, subsets were created, establishing 504 results for Corporate SRI proposals, 38 Environmental SRI proposals, 31 Social SRI proposals. Total SRI proposals, Corporate SRI proposals, and Environmental SRI proposals were found to have no statistically significant influence on security pricing. Given these results, further research should be conducted to determine what differentiates Social SRI proposals from the other subsets as well as the effects of SRI proposals submitted by labor unions on the value of debt for a company.
